Verdict
All five can be given a solid chance but TOPENHALL, a useful hurdler, makes appeal despite topweight. His recent return to fences has seen him show up prominently before fading late on and this drop to the minimum trip looks right up his street. Mister Matt is a really consistent performer in these contests and gained a deserved success last time. He looks sure to give another good account under the champion jockey. Tranos was raised 12lb for a convincing success over Schinken Otto during the spring and it was no surprise to see him fail to follow up off the higher mark last time. He probably needs to drop a few more pounds. Dean's Grange and Turbo Shandy wouldn't have to find much to play a part in an open contest.
